Fairhaven is a not for profit organisation that originally began as a school in 1962, formed by a group of Central Coast parents who came together with a single goal: to provide education options for their children with intellectual disabilities who were unable to access mainstream schools.

Fairhaven has matured and grown over time and while no longer a school now operates as a social enterprise that supports people living with disability on the Central Coast to live the life that they aspire to, with a commitment to providing community participation, social skills, employment opportunities, accommodation and living supports as well as an Australian Disability Enterprise at Tuggerah using the brand Fairhaven CoPack, employing over 102 people living with disabilities on the Central Coast.

School Leaver Employment Support is also available to prepare school leavers for mainstream employment.

Fairhaven provides accommodation and care at Kincumber and Booker Bay, giving people with disabilities independence and offering choice and control in their lives. Fairhaven also provides holiday accommodation at Ettalong and is specifically tailored for people living with disabilities, and their families as well as older Australians wanting accessible holiday accommodation close to the beach.

We also operate the Supported Employment Enterprise (SEE) business division, Fairhaven CoPack in Tuggerah.

Community support is essential to our operations. We always welcome donations and volunteers.
